am i daft ???

[richieboy]

iv'e always had an ambition to go round the world by motorbike .... my first question is...which bike should i buy for the purpose of travelling over sand , tarmac and any other surface you can think of ??? question two and last for now is ... i'm planning a round the world trip for probably 2 years time , but after reading the adventure m/cycling handbook , i think i may have bitten off a bit much. the problem i have is that i will have hopefully enough money to fund it in one hit , am i daft for even contemplating this venture or not , a divorce settlement will fund this expo and i know that if i do it a little at a time , the money will get spent inbetween and i'll never get the chance again .. i hope someone can help me , and i know the choice is mine at end of day but i think i just need re-assuring and a nudge in the right direction !!! thanks for reading this ,,, richieboy
